For the Knitter Who Might Have Everything

Posted on by Dan

Ask yourself, do they need someone, something to help them finish their projects, reduce their stash, catch up on some holiday knitting? This might be just the thing you are looking for:

And, if not, there will be plenty of other great gifts at The Yarnery Holiday Boutique this coming weekend (Dec. 3-5). They’ve invited 8 staff and their friends, including Virginia and I, to sell their handmade goods, with 10% of the proceeds going to the Second Harvest Food Bank. More details here.

Don’t miss out!

What’s Better Than a Box of Chocolates?

Posted on by Dan

Why, a sampler box from Seed Savers Exchange, or course.

Bean Sampler for Seed Savers

We’ve received a couple of these throughout the years, and I have to say, they make quite excellent gifts. You are presented, at once, with six packets of the most beautiful beans. Suddenly you start to imagine new culinary possibilities, new ways of preparing routine household staples or exciting new dishes yet to be discovered. Yes, dried beans can do that to a person. So, if you are looking for a unique gift this season, what better way to support this important organization.

Coming soon, more scratchcrafty goodness.
